“I recently purchased the EZ-Shot Golf Auto Tee System. I sell and install each commercial golf simulator and wanted to test out the technology for my clients.
This thing is awesome! No more bending over to tee up my golf balls. It really makes practicing the driver more attractive. I will now start offering this product to my future and existing golf simulator clients.”
Libertyville Sports Complex – There’s a market for people who want to practice year-round, 1 million balls were hit from the automated stations from August 2002 through February 2003. And the numbers are going up: 97,000 golf balls in January; doubling to 204,000 in February, and then nearly doubling again to 404,000 in March. One of the basics of golf is the stance, the grip. If you’re not bending over to place the ball on the tee, it’s easier to get those things down. That can really help the beginning golfer. This wasn’t something we had anticipated, but from talking to our golfers, the benefits are pretty clear.”

We are a Top 50 GRAA standalone premier golf range in the United States. Having previous experience with Range Automation Systems (RAS) equipment, I knew they could provide us with a highly reliable and cost effective auto-ball feeding system. Having a two tier golf range deck with auto-teeing, we needed a dependable ball feeding system to keep up with the demands of our customers who hit over 10 million balls a year. RAS did not disappoint as their ball feeding system has provided golf balls to our customers with little to no disruption. In addition to the benefits seen by our customers, the new system has reduced our staff costs due to its efficiency. Along with their products, RAS has always provided first class support and outstanding service. We look forward to working with RAS again for our equipment needs in the near future.
We are very pleased with the performance of our auto tee-up system. It has exceeded our expectations regarding sales and management efficiency, and our customers have embraced the technology. The number of balls hit per customers is phenomenal. In addition, the prepaid card system allows us to sell higher dollar items than we could using a bucket system, and the cards serve as a piece of advertising our customers carry with them. I would recommend installing an auto tee-up system to anyone building a driving range.
Dick Campbell – Desert Pines Golf Club
We are one of the premier driving ranges in the United States and were in need of a major overhaul on our ball delivery system. We have 3 floors with 80 stations that is open year round with over 12 million balls hit annually. Our old system did not function at the level that we needed with the volume of golfers that we have. We were very comfortable with RAS when they came out to look at our system in detail. The new system was installed while we were open for business and was very timely. Their customer service and support is top notch and could not have asked for anything more. The customer support has truly blown me away. With the new system, we never run out of balls for our customers. The customer feedback has been overwhelming with all positive feedback. On top of the performance of the new conveyors and system, we have been able to cut over $40,000 a year on staff cost as the system is much more efficient. We will certainly look at working with them again in the future!
